Location of Roxabell, Ohio

Roxabell is an unincorporated community in central Concord Township, Ross County, Ohio, United States.[1] It lies at the intersection of Davis Hill and Jamison Roads, little more than 1 mile (about 2 km) south of the village of Frankfort. Two parts of the North Fork of Paint Creek, a subsidiary of the Ohio River through the Scioto River, pass near Roxabel. It is located slightly more than 3 miles (about 5 km) north of State Route 28, midway between the cities of Chillicothe—the county seat of Ross County—and Greenfield.[2]

A post office called Roxabell was established in 1856, and remained in operation until 1933.[3] The railroad was extended to Roxabell in the 1870s.[4]
